Care

The Westminster has a directional nap - the short fibres extend above the fabric's surface- designed to be polished.

Using a soft bristle hat brush, smooth the nap lightly in an anticlockwise direction. Follow by spraying a fine mist of fresh water over the top hat and then use a damp velvet polishing pad to bring up the hat’s lustre.

Always store top hats in a hat box, away from direct sunlight. Lock & Co. offers sleek leather hat buckets and hat boxes that will ensure your hats are stored in style.

Alternatively, bring your Lock top hat to us for a complimentary polish whilst you wait. For our full list of restoration services Read More.
